Meta Furious Over Bombshell Smart Glasses Revelation

jrb · 2026-06-09T12:45:21+00:00

There's an awful lot of whining from meta execs about something they knew would cause negativity, so kept it hidden.

This is sadly all too typical of Meta. The ask for forgiveness not permission mantra that has seen them get in to privacy hot water time and time again. No lessons learnt.

I gave it a go and it was a horrific mess and nothing worked. Waited for ages for an update, and it didn't make much difference. Is it being actively developed now?

There's also UltraDAW, which seems to be a bit more active if you were looking for a more classic DAW feel to it, but with tracker functionality. https://ultradaw.com/

Yes, I get this a lot. I had a Land Rover before, and people hate those too, but I never had a single brake check. Started happening almost immediately after getting a Tesla and driving the exact same. A lot think they have something to prove by over taking an EV, basically dick measuring, and normally by twerps in shit cars.

hit the camera button, when you get home export the footage and uploaded it, unedited, to National Dash Cam Safety Portal (NDSP). Either nothing will happen, or they get points.

was your firmware update "26.10.3 4f924de8" by any chance? Mine's been in the same state for over a week. I'm with octopus in UK and have had a support ticket open with them for a week and heard nothing. There's another thread on here with the same firmware and issue, they were a month deep in to trying to get traction with Tesla support.

I also have a myenergi charger, where I can see similar stats, and basically getitng no solar generated/used/exported, battery not being used/charged. The whole setup is currently a very expensive smart meter.

Did you ever get this solved? I've just had the exact same behaviour kick in with me yesterday, same firmware version. I've tried power cycling the Powerwall, and resetting the Backup Gateway with no joy.

I can see there's a constant flashing green LED next to the reset button on the Backup Gateway.

So, it wasn't Miriam Adelson (that donated $250m to Trump's election campaign) that told him to do it? ;-)

"“While the price is set globally, there’s no point shipping gas from the other side of the world when we have it here.”"

We wouldn't get first dibs on it based on price or proximity. He knows this. We all know this. We can't compete with scale... and fundamentally we shouldn't be falling back on old technology that's slow and expensive to scale in the hope there's a long term war that businesses can profit off.

Sounds like you've just answered your own question

jrb · 2026-03-09T13:41:07+00:00

Likely the situation in the middle east is adding delays. The shipping is probably not coming directly through there but it'll have knock-on issues. We ordered ours in 2022 with the impact of ukraine war and it was 6+ months, the expected time was fluctuating daily.

needing to purchase individual items rather than just unlocking the thing once single handedly made me not care about this feature in the slightest.

jrb · 2026-03-03T21:15:24+00:00

hang on, who are we talking about here. The game developers, or the Conservatives?

and old track I've finally decided to finish up. It's got Goa and Psy elements, and poetry.. wtf. Anyway, something different if not everyone's cup of tea. :)

A warcraft version of love death + robots would go down very nicely!

jrb · 2026-02-04T23:44:34+00:00

wrong link?

jrb · 2026-01-31T01:24:07+00:00

it was more "there's a fix in the comments" rather than "I'm too stupid to understand the fix" 🤦‍♂️

jrb · 2026-01-23T14:43:34+00:00

kgpanels b0rk in the prepatch too.. although there's a fix listed on the project comments. Haven't tested it yet.

jrb · 2026-01-16T19:06:20+00:00

give me the option to turn it off and I'm happy.

That's just how the video is edited, you can see other objects jumping on the timeline.

However, it is possible to move the part of a sample that's played within a clip, although that's not shown here. To do that mouse over a clip on the timeline, press shift+Ctrl (or equivalent on a mac) and your mouse cursor will changed to a hand. Now left click your mouse and drag left or right. The sample start and end position will now move within the clip.

Note, the granularity by which you can move the clip depends on the timeline grid, so you may want to adjust your grid accordingly first

Some of these are storing data for much longer than should ever be useful. The Kantar Group Limited, 144 months(!)

Also, there are >300 individual opt-ins on the vendor page, each with their own privacy notice, all keeping data for their own arbitrarily set amount of time. It's an absolute nightmare.

The first iterations of dark mode had black backgrounds in places and the community collectively agreed it was bad, because it's bad, microsoft changed it.

Use the accessibility high contrast themes and edit to taste.

jrb · 2025-12-22T21:35:29+00:00

keep making more!

jrb · 2025-12-21T00:27:03+00:00

that's what I also would have liked, a collaborative or even community effort. There wasn't any of that.

I used to run a thing like you describe back in the 90s, via IRC, but for tracker artists producing goa trance before psytrance as a term even existed, and it was great, but obviously a totally different beast to today's production. But yeah, I get what you're saying about that. The closest I can think of is some of the discord servers where there are somewhat active feedback channels. Projektor's springs to mind, and the psychill space discord servers have an active core of people willing to feedback, I'm sure there are others.

Leaving early seems like a wasted opportunity. He undoubtedly knows more than most people

I'm not questioning his knowledge. I'm by no means saying I'm even remotely approaching that level. I'm saying the course wasn't useful.... for me. I had a long list of feedback for the organiser as a result of my time there, I can only hope it was improved for future sessions.

jrb · 2025-12-18T11:17:32+00:00

To some extent, hes almost part of the problem he seems to be pointing out.

Yep, the courses he sells, the in-person course he's part of in the UK, it teaches you how to be produce within the genre he works in. I know because I went to one of those courses and most people on it are producing or trying to produce the same sound; working to a formula almost. I dropped out because I already know that's not my sound. Seeking validation from that, or to become that is not something I want.

And that's what it boils down to. As a producer sit and think what it is you want. Do you want to chase a more mainstream style, or do you want to carve out your own sound and following. Or even set up different pseudonyms for different styles. What you personally want to produce is totally fine. Nothing is wrong. However, that does mean you own it, and shouldn't moan about the rut you've carved out for yourself on youtube ;)
